Ronald Regan assassination attempt is a vague memory. Challenger was much more memorable, but the first world event that I felt like I “got” without an adult discussing it with me was Tiennamen Square. That hit during my Saturday morning cartoons, and I’ve never forgotten the roller coaster of those protests.

Vegetables are very labor intensive crops anyway, so the work investment is similar to what it would take to grow in soil. That wouldn’t be as true of grains, etc. which take relatively little interaction while they are growing. Also, bulbs and tubers can’t be grown with this method- they will likely always need soil…

No “Cowboy” racists? I nominate the Intermountain west as a whole for an honorable mention on your list.

Thank you!

I use my phone to scan sheet music. The built in app in Google drive does fine. The quality is fine for my purposes, but not what I’d call archival quality. If you just need to be able to pull up a decent image quickly fro anywhere, though, it’s great.

My wife and I technically don’t have a TV or cable, but “serially produced audio visual content” is still our opiate of choice.

Drops one glass into the dishwasher, almost breaking it in the process, then decides to go play on the stairs...

Right now, the money gets split up by youtube and the recording companies. The artists who record the songs, and the video creators who use the songs are not at the table for this discussion in any meaningful way.

If Steven A Smith thinks you did something wrong, you’re probably living your life right. On the rare occasion that I find myself agreeing with this human foghorn, I immediately second guess myself.

Steph Curry playing at 100 percent is unbelieveable, and unstoppable. Stephen Curry playing at 90 percent is too short and too small to be much good for anything. The same principle seems to apply to the Warriors as a whole. There’s an awfully thin line between dazzlingly amazing, and completely useless.

My guess would be that some guys use the “rockstar” label to see how far they can push other people around. That’s probably a pretty common dynamic in tech circles.

Please don’t dismiss her account because she seems “kinky”, or otherwise okay with a certain level of sexual contact. As soon as she said stop, the guy needed to stop. This is true no matter what relationship might exist between the two people.

Counterpoint- baby sloths are adorable. I’m with you on the bats, though. And probably just skip the Insect building altogether, because, why?

Seems like a nice guy, and congratulations are in order for his success.

I may be an exception to the rule, but I’m a totally white guy, born and raised in the USA, and I’m always getting in trouble for touching things at museums. Lately, I’ve been restricting myself to only viewing “hands on” dusplays, which are generally intended for children. (Which probably says a lot about me...)

Maybe Zuckerberg is an annoying neighbor, but judging from the complaints from his neighbors, they’re not exactly a bundle of rainbows either.

Boo!

I grew up in a family of 10, and my mom ground wheat and baked our bread at home. The main reason was cost- it was less than half the price of store bought white bread. The taste was excellent, though, although it was best when still hot out of the oven, and was noticeably stale just a day or two later.

Came for this. Thx.

Thank you for presenting this so clearly and factually. I’m a BYU alumnus, and a lifelong Mormon. While both are important to me, I realize more and more every day just how badly we can mess things up in the name of making things right. I did a decent job of keeping the honor code as a student, and I like the…
